LeagueOfPie Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 For the past 2 weeks I've been trying to figure out why all of a sudden my phpbb forum was loading pages unusually slow. I've talked to my hosting provider and they said that my IP was dropping after I did a pathping test. So I went and talked to my ISP to change my IP but that still didn't work. After a few more conversations with my hosting provider they found out it was the .htacccess file of prestashop and so they simply added .bak to disable it. Once they did that the phpbb forums worked fine. But of course disabling the .htaccess file just leads to another problem making all links & pages to my shop disabled or not working. My hosting provider seems to not provide support regarding .htaccess. So I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem and would like to explain to me how to fix this since I don't really know much about .htaccess besides its use for urls. Also its not just me having this problem, people I know have tested and noticed how slow the pages are loading on the phpbb forums if I enable the prestashop .htaccess compared to disabling it.

Alex - Arvixe Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 If the links are not working you should disable any 'search engine friendly URL' options returning to the defaults. Can you paste the contents of your .htaccess here so we can take a look at what might be causing any issues? Better fix the issue there as opposed to disabling friendly URLs.
